    Where are you guys coming from? Have you ever even watched a boxing fight Rimmy? Possibly behind Foreman? What about Tyson, Shavers, Baer, Lewis, Cooney, Ruddock, Morrisson and hundreds others? Wlad wouldn't even make the top 60 hardest hitters in history, facts....Best yes, but not hardest

    Earnie Shavers was stated to hit 4x harder than your average heavy, and Wlad is only slightly above average


    Hard to call the end of the Lewis-Vitali fight, both were dog tired, but Vitali WAS the one clinching for dear life at the end...

      i've never even seen him backing a man to a corner and punching to the body.
      Wlad has every punch in the book in his offensive arsenal. He landed a lot of beautiful uppercuts in his last fight against Peter. He has a great left hook. He has KO'd tons of fighters with his left hook. Wlad has a body attack too. He landed a lot of body punches against Byrd, Thompson, Mercer, McCline, etc...

        Prime Tyson had 4634523 times the footwork and movement of Wlad. This would add devastating force of momentum to his every punch, thus making his punches stronger than someone throwing flat footed
        ^^ This is the difference.



        We're talking about different types of power. Wlad is more sledgehammer type power, Tyson is a more dynamic puncher. I wouldn't call either a harder puncher than the other. It depends on the shot they're throwing and how they're throwing it.

          i'm sorry man, i've watched him fight Sanders, Byrd, Peter twice, e.t.c and all i remember is a jab and a straight right hand. Vitali's way better IMO!

          To each his own though.

                Tyson at his best put punches together better than Wlad, though. And that's the most devastating part of Tyson's arsenal. His combinations were bizarre.

                  myabe so but Tyson would destroy this era worse than Wlad is doing. I doubt the scrubs Wlad are beating are better than a prime Tony Tucker nevermind Spinks or even a past it Holmes. also Wlad is 6'7 250 pounds and tyson is 5'10 218 lbs at his best.

                  Tyson > wlad

                    Typically, I think the result of both guys best punch would be similarly fight-ending.



                    Tyson comes out to take your head off, though, and combines punches creatively, so, naturally, he's the guy who throws the far greater average of outright decapitators in a fight, when you think of both guys in the most effective phases of their careers (Tyson early, Wlad late).

                    Everything Wlad throws is blunt-force heavy and thudding, though.




                    Both men are devastating punchers. They possess different types of power and fight very differently (at their most effective, respectively) is all.
